FOREWORD 



To THE Members of 1904: 

Classmates! 

This History of the Class of 1904 of Syracuse 
University has been prepared, and is now pubhshed, 
in accordance with a vote of the class at the fifteenth 
annual reunion, June 10, 1919. 

For purposes of this record we have considered 
in detail only those 239 members who were gradu- 
ated with bachelors' degrees; the recipients of 
honorary and masters' degrees and certificates are 
listed, but the record in detail is confined to the 
holders of bachelors' degrees. 

Owing to some delay with questionnaires the 
issuance of the History has been somewhat retarded; 
also some of the information received in 1919 and 
early 1920 may not be entirely accurate and com- 
plete, as of today. It will be well to consider the 
record as being of January 1, 1920; some later 
information is inserted in certain cases, but con- 
cerning some of the members very likely there may 
have been some changes. 

It is believed that this is the first instance in Syra- 
cuse University annals of the publication of a class 
history. 1904, during its undergraduate existence, 
was a pioneer in many things. As alumni, it is 

7 



8 THE CLASS OF 1904 

fitting that this characteristic of college days be 
continued. 

It is impossible that such a record as this could 
be issued without some errors creeping in. Where 
such is the case the historian craves the indulgence 
of his classmates. 



Mine has been an unusual privilege, the com- 
pilation of a History of the Class of 1904. Under 
the touchstone of this privilege a deal of labor has 
been transmuted into pleasure and satisfaction. 
Have I not been permitted to renew the memory of 
associations and friendships of four happy years .f^ 
Have I not been allowed to follow you through the 
years since June 8, 1904 — to see you putting to the 
test of experience the promise and the hopes of our 
four years together .^^ Have I not read between the 
lines of your questionnaires .^^ Have I not witnessed, 
though unseen, the development of your careers and 
the unfolding of your dreams from the mistiness of 
hope into the vividness of reality .f^ Have I not 
glimpsed into nearly two hundred happy homes that 
you have established in nearly thirty states and 
in seven countries .^^ Have not mine eyes beheld the 
joy of your countenances and mine ears heard the 
beautiful sounds of your children's voices .^^ I have 
seen you in the family circle; in the counting room; 



FOREWORD 9 

in public office; in civic organizations; in the courts 
of law; in hospitals and chambers of illness; in the 
classroom; in the study; in the pulpit; in factories; 
in the construction of great works of transportation 
and commerce and engineering; in the sciences; in 
the fine arts; in agriculture, — in all good works. 
And I have seen you in France and in our camps 
in the great war for civilization's salvation. And 
always as leaders. 

And I, fortunate person, have seen you winning 
your way in the world, harvesting the fruits of 
earnest effort, and gathering the honors and rewards 
that the world has freely granted you because of 
achievements and useful service in a thousand 
different ways and places. 

And, alas, as if in proof that "Death loves a 
shining mark, a signal blow," I have seen a little 
group of classmates fade from the vivid scenes of 
young and eager life into the mysterious shadows 
of another Commencement. Faces and forms we 
knew and loved as friends and classmates, gone 
from our earthly sight, the circle broken, but clear 
and fair and fine their memory remains and shall 
abide until the Grand Reunion, — then, now and 
always. Members of 1904, we salute you! 

In going over the more than two hundred records 
submitted as the basis of this History I have been 



10 THE CLASS OF 1904 

moved to an almost holy joy at the splendid place 
that the individuals of our class have assumed in 
the work of the world. Without a single exception 
the men and women of 1904 have been useful in 
service in countless ways and many places — a fair 
fulfillment of obligation and of opportunity. Surely 
we can say in modesty and in truth that we have 
bravely wrought and need take no shame for the 
separate and aggregate result. 

And Syracuse University! Who among us that 
has not grown in love for and devotion to our Alma 
Mater? We have watched in pride the ever- 
enlarging sphere of her service to mankind, and the 
growing respect and regard in which she is every- 
where held. In conscious pride of possession, the 
Class of 1904 holds in reverence and affection the 
great University whose benediction has been over 
us and whose challenge to the highest and best in us 
is a watchword to our lives and a guide to our 
pathways.

TWO "SONS OF 1904 



REMARKS BY AND OF MEMBERS 



Nathan Abelson has been claim attorney for 
the Eastern States Railroad Corporation since 1905. 

"My hobby is to see the introduction of a few 
business courses in the college curriculum, e, g., 
accounting, economics (a real course I mean), 
salesmanship and, possibly, business English, com- 
mercial law, advertising, — courses that would com- 
prise mental training plus the practical value of an 
elementary grounding in the theoretical funda- 
mentals of business. I do not favor abolition of the 
classics or the narrowing of our liberal arts cultural 
course to the point of turning our universities into 
business colleges; but a middle ground could be 
found or lecture courses by practical business men, 
apart from and in addition to the college curricu- 
lum — elective, not compulsory necessarily, — would 
stimulate the college man into thought of his quali- 
fications for business and guide him in the decision 
of his life work." 

Roy Allen. 

It appears that Roy Allen holds the class cham- 
pionship as a club member. He belongs to the Uni- 
versity Club, the Union League Club, the Psi Upsilon 
Club, all of New York; the Green Meadow Country 
Club, of Harrison, N. Y., and the Wee Burn Golf 
Club, of Noroton, Conn. 

"Living in the best little city in the United 
States; on automobile route from New York to 

123 



124 THE CLASS OF 1904 

California. Stop and see us. The front door is 
always unlocked." 

Armstrong. 



"I wish I had something of real interest to add to 
my history, but my life has been just commonplace. 
I have a splendid family and perhaps that in the end 
is most worth while. I came near being with you in 
Syracuse in 1919 and am planning right now for the 
20th reunion. Best wishes for the success of '04." 

Julia Babcock (Dunkley) , 



"My husband is general secretary of Y. M. C. 
Associations for Chinese in Tientsin. Interests 
mainly with Chinese people. American community 
of 400 in city, which numbers about 980,000. There 
are seven S. U. folks here including two Chinese." 

Grace Baird (Hersey). 



"This (Bellingham) is the most northwesterly 
city in the U. S. Dairying, fruit growing, fishing, 
lumbering. About 90,000 people." 

Baldrey. 



"The only man that had nerve enough to bring 
his wife to the fifteenth reunion of the Class." 

Bateman. 



" Since graduating, a sister and two brothers have 
been graduated from Syracuse and one of the 
brothers received the A.M. degree. I wonder if 



REMARKS 125 

that can be beaten for a family record in S. U. — 
four graduates, one of them an A.M. I attended 
the summer of 1912, so I think from 1900 to 1914 
there was always a member of our family attending 
the university." 

Bennett. 



"My original class was '85, but I was side- 
tracked and an old fellow got mixed with the boys of 
1904. I have been a school man all my life to 
January 1918. The highest calling of man. Now 
I'm in the next highest, agriculture. Both are con- 
structive and both deal with original material." 

Bettinger. 



"We are trying to do our share in the upbuilding 
of western Canada and find it very attractive and 
interesting work." 

Adelaide Wheeler (Blackhurst) . 



"Done nothing but 'plug' since leaving college." 

Cannon. 



Perry Carpenter is actively interested in reli- 
gious work for older boys at Rochester. 



Louis Chaloux is now on his fourth pastorate 
since graduation — fifteen years in the first three. 



"Practicing law with success, in trial work, and 



126 THE CLASS OF 1904 

still retain deep interest in welfare of Alma Mater, 
particularly its athletic teams." 

Collins. 



"The more I see of things the better I am satis- 
fied that I chose Syracuse for 'my college.' We 
surely have a wonderful leader in Chancellor Day." 

Crane. 



"Besides teaching here in the high school I am 
doing considerable 'New Thought' work in New 
York City and expect very shortly to devote all my 
time to this. I write New Thought stories for 
children, do some healing, etc. This work is my 
principal interest." 

Eleanore Cross. 



"Have been so busy in my engineering profession 
with the General Electric Co. that I have had no 
time to think much about myself. My chief rec- 
reation is an active participation in Masonic 
fraternal work. I endeavor to keep in touch with 
college aflPairs through my fraternity, Sigma Alpha 
Epsilon. At the present time I happen to be vice- 
president and a director of the alumni association of 
the chapter." 

Crowell. 

"Still alive and going strong." 

John 0. Davies. 



"I like my job; if there is a better one, lead me to 
it. Money .f^ Not much, but oh boy, the fun! 



REMARKS 127 

Fame? Enough. *Full many a flower is born to 
blush unseen and waste its fragrance on the desert 
air.' That's me all over. 

"We surely had a fine time last June (1919), but 
hope we can get a bigger bunch for the great cele- 
bration next time. We certainly had the livest 
bunch since the establishment of the University, and 
we stand out a distinct asset to the University, 
notwithstanding many larger classes which have 
followed us. The fact that *Doc ' John signally 
recognized us by appearing with us in the parade is 
glory enough for all time. The honors of the day 
were ours. Shall hope to be with the old bunch 
every time they appear on the Campus." 

"Syl" Davies. 



"My work is ordinary teaching work backed by 
a sincere desire to develop a purpose, a personality 
and a love for the truly beautiful in life. Here's to 
a purposeful and effectual 1904." 

Florence Distin. 



"I was accompanist for W. G. Merrihew, con- 
ductor, who gave the 'Messiah,' 'Creation,' 'Prod- 
igal Son,' and miscellaneous programs with New 
York soloists from 1905 to 1909." 

Grace DoRNBURG (jBagrnaZZ). 



"Have traveled throughout the country almost 
constantly since graduation; from twenty -five to 



128 THE CLASS OF 1904 

fifty thousand miles a year in the interests of the 
missionary enterprises of the churches." 

Doughty. 



Blanche Davidson {Doyle) received an A. R. C. 
service pin. She is interested in all activities of her 
community, Brevard, N. C. 



"Our Class seems to have a spirit which lives and 
lasts. May it grow and be cherished." 

Eastman. 

"Though at home caring for my aged mother 
I still keep up as much as possible in my chosen 
profession — and am enjoying teaching French. 
Though I can seldom get away out of town my inter- 
est in college matters does not flag. I am a loyal 
member of the Class of '04, though necessarily an 
inactive one." 

HiLDEGARDE EdWARDS. 



T. A. Enright during his architectural career 
not only helped develop plans for several of our uni- 
versity buildings, but worked on such buildings as 
the Y. M. C. A., the new Vocational high school, 
several grade schools, numerous city buildings, in 
Syracuse, and the 42-story L. C. Smith building in 
Seattle. 

"Nothing of note to record excepting that I am 
somewhat older and somewhat heavier and not 
much better looking." 

Enright. 



REMARKS 129 

"When hesitatingly, with rhythm painfully slow, 
The first *Rip! Rah! Roar!' heralded the birth of 

1904, 
The question was: *What shall the pageant be?' 
The answer is: *Read our Class History, and see.'" 

Fowler. 



"I wish I could have attended the class reunion. 
It would have been genuine pleasure to have seen the 
genial faces of our friends and greeted the members 
of '04. It is a capital idea to get a 'Who is Who' 
for our distinguished class. An account of the ac- 
complishments of the men and women in whom they 
are mutually interested will be a cherished posses- 
sion of every member of the class. We like to see a 
Class History that will in some adequate measure 
and manner tell the deeds of the men who have been 
making history for themselves and for their class." 

Gabriel. 



"Only a country doctor." 

Lois Gannett. 



"We are building double wall concrete houses 
stuccoed on the outside, the best type of construc- 
tion known." 

Hays. 



George Hamilton, as chief of the hospital 
construction section, had complete charge of design- 
ing the hospitals at Camps Bragg, Benning, Knox, 



130 THE CLASS OF 1904 

Fort Bliss, Denver tuberculosis hospital, Walter 
Reed general hospital at Washington and all camp 
and general hospitals throughout the United States, 



"My life probably typifies that of the majority 
of college women who are married and bringing up a 
family. After looking after the management of our 
household, and doing part of the routine housework, 
we help our children with their studies and interest 
ourselves in their joys and sorrows, helping them to 
form ideals so that they can take up the work where 
this generation leaves off. We are living in critical 
times and great changes will take place in the next 
fifty years. Our children must be prepared for their 
task. Then there is the church work, the Bible 
class to be taught, programs, executive work, such 
duties as call for the trained mind. The college 
woman will not fail to interest herself in the civic 
life of her town and city. The woman with ex- 
ecutive ability has done her bit in the Red Cross 
work and the various drives of the last three years. 
At night she puts aside her own cares and with a 
smile greets her companion to cheer and encourage 
him after the day's work. The majority of college 
women never obtain fame, but are content if it can be 
said that the world is just a little better for their 
having lived." 

Maude Heath (Wilcox), 



"Am largely out of touch with the east and my 
former associates. Am practicing law alone and 



REMARKS 131 

sticking close to the job, but have never lost deep 
interest in old S. U. and *04. Greetings to all!" 

Heal. 



"After practicing in Syracuse eleven years re- 
moved to New York City to a larger and more 
lucrative practice." 

Heiman. 

"My work outside the home has been done for 
the church. As head of the normal department of 
the Joyce Memorial Bible school I have been able to 
help prepare teachers for more efficient Christian 



service." 



Julia Hook (Shafer). 



"My Boy Scout work is very pleasant; I recom- 
mend it to those who will cut out habits it would be 
bad for boys to copy, and who will cultivate traits 
that will, if followed, help boys. 

"This couplet has helped me: 
* Give to the world the best that you have 
And the best will come back to you.' 

"I started some time ago to maintain a scholar- 
ship at old S. U., $37.50 semi-annually; it is very 
gratifying." Hook.

'After twelve years of special work in the city 
I moved to rural life on Long Island and resumed 
general practice, along with raising pigs and 
chickens." 

HULST. 



132 THE CLASS OF 1904 

"I am so far away that I have never been back 
to Syracuse for a reunion. Am keeping young by 
playing athletic games. Lead a quiet family life, 
without much excitement. I still remember *Ma' 
Still's boarding house and the old salt rushes, etc., 
also the time I had the mumps and got cheated out 
of rowing on our freshman crew.'* 

Clarence Jones. 



"Hello, there, how be you all.^^" 

Hyzer Jones. 



"When in college I had no time to play. Since 
leaving, however, I have taken up the old Scottish 
game of golf. Have won several gold medals, cups, 
etc., and I think I am qualified to claim the golf 
championship of the illustrious class of 1904. If 
any one feels like opposing my claim, I will be very 
glad to settle it at our next class reunion. Am vice- 
president of a country club down here and if any 
of you fellows happen to pass through Du Bois, 
would be glad to have you stop off and I'll show you 
the course." 

ICnapp. 



George Lynch, in response to the query, 
married.f^" says, "You bet," and states under 
remarks" in his questionnaire, "raising soldiers." 



"Am exerting myself toward riches in the great 
Imperial Valley of southern California. For past

year inspecting 60,000 acres of cotton crops in 
Mexico for ginning company, loaning $3,000,000 or 
more to Chinese and Japanese growers. Don't any 
of the 1904 class dare to pass me by when visiting 
California." 

A more recent letter says: 

"Out here we are expecting cotton to hang us. 
We are hoping for the successful outcome to a 
10,000 barrel oil well which is expected to come in 
late this month (January, 1921) or the first of next. 
If it actually shows well, or rather if it makes a good 
showing, we are expecting great boom excitement 
here and then we could forget our troubles over raw 
cotton." 

McLachlan. 



"There is nothing special to say about myself, 
save that I like to school-teach, which fact may be 
novel." Maud MacLachlan. 



"From the different lines of work I have been in 
you might think I am a vagabond. However, it's 
not as bad as that. I'm satisfied. Came over here 
(Paris) early in 1918 on some special auditing work 
for the American International Corporation. Since 
then I have had to work in England, Belgium, 
Italy and France. In 1919 I was transferred to the 
Allied Machinery Co. de France, which is one of the 
many subsidiary companies of the A. I. C. My 
work now will take me to all the countries of south- 
western Europe; headquarters Paris, which city is 



134 THE CLASS OF 1904 

next to New York in my belief. Think your efforts 
in preparing a Class History are fine. Count me 
in for copies and my share of the expense. Sorry I 
can't tell of wonderful things I've done or of equally 
wonderful books written or of political aspirations, 
success, etc., but I guess I'm just one of the millions 
of plain, ordinary business men. Good luck and if 
any '04 folks get over here, look me up." 

Mac Adam. 



"After I came to California in 1910 I became 
interested in fruit ranching and bought a small 
prune and apricot orchard within easy reach of 
Stanford University. Was enrolled in the first 
summer quarter ever given at Stanford and have 
attended several summer schools and one college 
year at the University of California in Berkeley. 
While I am vitally interested in California's edu- 
cational program and in her institutions, I am as 
loyal a lover of 'old Syracuse' as ever. The diffi- 
culty has been to make a trip east and a reunion 
coincide. This I hope to be able to accomplish in 
1924." 

Lucia Meter. 



"Have taken an active part in suffrage, prohibi- 
tion and Red Cross work. Am a cousin of president- 
elect Harding's, from whom I received greetings at 
Christmas time. We are both descended from 
Colonel Thomas Harding of the Revolutionary 
army. 



REMARKS 135 

" I think every married woman should call her- 
self by her own maiden name — the husband's name 
can be added for convenience. She is baptized into 
Christ's Church by her own name and it remains 
forever hers. Old friends will remember her by it, 
while they may not recognize her identity under a 
masculine appellation." 

Anna H. Moore {Funnell), 

"Interested in history as usual. Have been con- 
nected with history of Erie County in several 
capacities in committee work. Retain interest in all 
forms of athletics. Reunions, coming as they do, 
make it impossible for teachers to attend on account 
of approaching commencements. However, we 
think of the ones who are lucky enough to be able 
to attend." Moore. 

"As a member of the College Women's Club and 
the Woman's Club of Erie (the largest in the state) 
my chief interests are in women's work. My hobby 
is nature study, being a bird lover affiliated with the 
Audubon Society." 

LiNA Jennings {Moore). 

Bob Morey started out to be a teacher and was a 
good one too, but one day was bitten by the Wall 
Street bug and all bets were off. Was in the brok- 
erage business in Philadelphia before invading the 
big town. 

" I haven't lost my interest at all in our class — 
I'd even be willing to wager that even today we can

trim any class that was ever graduated, in any way, 
shape or manner." 

NiLES. 



"Have been mixed up more or less in church, 
Sunday-school, and Y. M. C. A. work since coming 
to Clifton Springs and at present am superintendent 
of the M. E. Sunday-school." 

Odell. 



"Hope all the members of '04 have had as much 
fun out of their work and life as I have had. Each 
day is just a picnic. A teacher ought to keep young 
longer than any one else as she is in constant contact 
with life, youth, love and laughter. It's her own 
fault if she doesn't keep happiness in her heart." 

Nellie Olcott. 



"General practice — living — nothing to say 
except doing what each day brings." 

Padget. 



" My Alma Mater, old Syracuse, forms a principal 
part in my daily thoughts. The spirit which I 
brought from Syracuse has made me successful in 
my profession and my interest is to see her again. 
*May we all be leal and loyal to thy memory.' " 

Perez.

that's all, but John D. has nothing on me."

mercantile enterprises. Director in a number of 
companies in which I act as counsel." 

Rubin. 



Ernest Scott, pastor of Centenary M. E. 
Church, Utica, has been building a new parsonage 
there. Under his pastorate at Rome a new church

"In the management of our home and the rearing 
of our three sons I find a full-sized and most inter- 
esting occupation." 

Gertrude Sholes {Auten). 



"Time hasn't brought many changes except a 
few added pounds and a few subtracted hairs. Have 
several left yet for a rainy day. You can see for 
yourself that I am never anything but serious 
minded ! Just let me add — Syracuse is a great 
place, even with Rubin in New York and Evans in 
Beantown." 

Ernest Smith.

"The Western Electric Co. built many millions 
of dollars' worth of radio telephone sets during the 
war, and the work being done by our research de- 
partment portends great advances in the electrical 
and acoustic arts. Have had ten years of experience 
in patent work on radio signaling and related sub- 
jects. Have as assistants four other attorneys who 
are engineers or physicists and specialists in these 
branches." 

Sprague. 



"Am very much 'settled down.' Possibly after 
my daughter is grown I may yet do something worthy 
of the Class." 

Edith Snyder (JVooster), 



"My husband is an inspector of immigration and 
our station may be changed from time to time; but 
we may always be reached in care of * Immigration 
Service, Tucson, Arizona. ' If any Syracusans come

producers — from preference, and would not change 
back from the same cause." 

Taft. 



REMARKS 139 

"Since leaving college I have tried to do my duty 
and have had a part as founder of the following: 
In 1910 — Troop 15 Boy Scouts of Buffalo; in 1913 
of a graduate system of retaining the interest of the 
older boys in scouting; in 1913 of the College Scout 
Club of Buffalo; in 1915 of the scoutmasters* con- 
ference plan which is now in general use all over the 
United States; and in 1919 of a local Scout paper 
for holding the interest of active and graduate Scouts 
for life. Was chairman of the Buffalo Boy Scout 
camp committee for five years, 1912-1917; first 
president of the Buffalo Scoutmasters' Society, and 
re-elected for two years; in 1908 was manager of the 
first annual work-horse parade of Buffalo, under the 
auspices of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty 
to Animals. Have been vice-chairman of District 7 
Charity Organization Society of Buffalo for the last 
five years, also war chairman of said committee for 
1919. Also chairman of one of the general Christ- 
mas committees for the annual city -wide Christmas 
party for 1,500 poor children of the city for the last 
two years. Have been teacher of boys in Richmond 
Avenue M. E. Sunday-school for the last twelve 
years." 

Templeton. 



"The position I now hold necessitates traveling, 
as I visit all schools where pupils are prepared for 
taking drawing in regents' examinations. I meet 
teachers in conference and give them helps in teach-

Am now fair (?), fat and forty and perfectly happy.'* 

Hazel Thorp {Hathaway),

fession since 1906. Have succeeded in building up a 
lucrative practice. I have handled successfully 
several actions involving as much as fifty thousand 
dollars each." 

TONEY. 



"I am always more or less active in the church 
and community in which I live, always trying to be 
humbly mindful of my responsibility as an alumnus 
of old Syracuse and trying to see to it, so far as my 
influence is concerned, that it will tend to reflect 
credit upon my Alma Mater. I am always keenly 
interested in 'things Syracuse,' and follow the 
fortunes of the university in athletics and other 
matters with increasing interest. I was back to our 
15th reunion and last fall I was in attendance at the 
Colgate game with my wife and two boys. We are 
now a family of four enthusiastic Syracuse rooters, 
and it is not beyond the realm of the possible that 
I shall be again represented in the undergraduate 
body by my two sons in the not distant future." 

Truran. 



"Am afraid I've done nothing that would be of 
especial interest to the class. Have tried two or 
three times to give up teaching, but do not seem to

bers and have bought a lot near Western Reserve 
university where a new church is to be built. We 
expect the whole enterprise will cost at least $1,000,- 
000. This looks like a real hard job and a good 
wholesome crowd to work with. Naturally I am 
up against some big propositions in bringing two 
churches together in a church building far removed

from most of their homes and at the same time get 
ready to build a new church." 

Louis Wright. 

"I am able to keep just about one jump ahead of 
the h. c. 1." 

Bob Young. 



"Situated on the borderland between northern 
and southern horticulture, in a section poorly devel- 
oped horticulturally because of the one-crop sys- 
tem of cotton farming of past years, but destined 
to rapid development of horticultural interests 
on account of the appearance of the cotton boll 
weevil, my problem is to develop orchard and garden 
crops adapted to the natural conditions of the state, 
either by plant breeding or introduction from outside 
sources, and to determine satisfactory methods of 
culture." 

Bill Young. 

"The Class Baby" 
Maxwell Brane, born July 10, 1904, is the "Class 
Baby" of 1904, the first child born to a member of 
the class after graduation. He is the son of Mr. 
and Mrs. DeForest Eldredge Brane. Mrs. Brane 
was Miss Olive Belle Olney, Cornell '01, and her 
marriage to Mr. Brane took place February 14, 1903. 
Their home is at Cato, N. Y. Maxwell is nearly 
seventeen years old and is a strong, sturdy six- 
footer, "just as his father was before him," when 
holding down a position on the Varsity line in under- 
graduate days at Syracuse.

1904 CLASS REUNIONS 



THE FIFTH ANNIVERSARY 

Class reunions were not in order at the Univer- 
sity. The Class of '04, first in navy and everything 
else in college life, decided to have a real reunion 
their fifth year out, June, 1909. Templeton, Evans, 
Rubin and the secretary sent out letters to the mem- 
bers asking them to return to the University on 
Alumni Day. They promised a good time for each 
one, a sing for the boys the night before and stunts 
for the girls. Each member received two notices 
before the appointed day. 

We succeeded in getting back twenty-five mem- 
bers, eight of whom were girls. 

After the alumni luncheon, a business meeting was 
held and the following officers were appointed : Chair- 
man Executive Committee, Irving R. Templeton; 
Executive Committee — J. Robert Rubin, Jennie 
Gilbert Smith, George W. Fowler and Ernest R. 
Smith. 

The duty of this committee was to arrange for 
the tenth reunion. A collection was taken to defray 
expense of present reunion. 

THE TENTH ANNIVERSARY 

The tenth reunion of the Class of '04 was ushered 
in, June 6, 1914, by a class breakfast at Winchell 
Hall on Alumni Day. About twenty were present. 
After the breakfast a business meeting was held, Irv- 
ing Templeton presiding. The former executive com- 

145 



146 THE CLASS OF 1904 

mittee was reappointed to arrange for the fifteenth 
reunion. At this time the class took up a collection, 
the receipts of which were to defray expenses and to 
purchase a loving cup. The cup was to be presented 
to the University for the purpose of instituting an 
inter-class sing. The cup to go each year to the 
class winning the contest. 

More members arrived in the city during the 
morning and at one o'clock fifty attended the alumni 
luncheon. At this time the cup was presented by 
Bob Rubin. 

THE FIFTEENTH ANNIVERSARY 

The fifteenth reunion of the Class of '04 was held 
June 10, 1919. The ball was set rolling by the class 
breakfast, at 725 Grouse Avenue. Eighteen mem- 
bers attended the breakfast. A. L. Evans acted as 
toastmaster and the roasts and toasts began. We 
were glad to have with us our old favorite, Harry 
Baker of baseball fame. He had just returned from 
Russia where he had been serving his country as a 
Y. M. C. A. worker. He had served six months 
under the Czar, six under Lenine and six under 
Kerensky. His work had been with Russian prison- 
ers of war and he had much of interest to tell us. 
He also brought us news of other class members 
who had served in France. Bob Rubin blew in from 
New York and in his usual breezy manner gave us a 
friendly talk. 

Questionnaires had been sent out to all members 
of the class by A. L. Evans and 102 replies had been 



CLASS REUNIONS 147 

received. Extracts from these replies were read as 
a sort of informal history. Thus we heard from 
classmates from coast to coast, and from foreign 
lands. Friendly jests and chats took place until the 
business meeting was called. 

The following permanent class officers were 
elected : 

President Irving R. Templeton 

Vice-President Anna Telfer (Searl) 

Secretary-Treasurer George W. Fowler 

Historian Arthur L. Evans 

Chairman Executive Committee . . J. Robert Rubin 

Arthur L. Evans was elected historian and 
instructed to edit and publish a class history. The 
class voted to send Chancellor Day a telegram at 
the opening of the fall term, commemorating his 
twenty-fifth year as Chancellor. This was done. 
At one o'clock the class attended the alumni lunch- 
eon. We were glad to welcome among our number 
our old friend Prof. P. O. Place, who in days gone 
by had so kindly chaperoned our sophomore banquet 
at the Valley and had often joined in our college 
activities. He is a sort of honorary member of the 
class, having begun his teaching at the University 
with '04 members. 

Each member was provided with a white cockade 
hat decorated with orange pompon, a numeral arm 
band and rattle. Thus arrayed we joined the parade 
of reunion classes. Each class was headed by a 
float. Our mascot was a white cubist elephant. 



148 THE CLASS OF 1904 

appropriately lettered with reference to *04's glorious 
undergraduate record; led by Capt. Walter F. 
Bay lis, who entertained the crowd by pranks, 
learned in T. N. E. initiation days. Some of the 
members attended the baseball game in the stadium. 

By evening at least sixty-five members had 
reached the city and sat together at the table re- 
served for us at the alumni dinner held in the gym- 
nasium. Rubin of our class was toastmaster. 

The "medics" of '04 held a reunion by them- 
selves at Three Rivers the same day. Out of a 
possible attendance of 27 there were present 22, 
a splendid record. As George Lynch says, "It was a 
howling success." 

Great credit is due President Templeton for his 
perseverance and devotion in fostering and main- 
taining our traditional class spirit of college days. 

The twentieth reunion is to be a family reunion. 
We hope at least one hundred families will join us 
at that time. 

Maude Heath Wilcox, Secretary.
